Dune HD Smart D1 Quick Start Guide
Getting Started
Remove the transparent protecting film from the front panel of the player to ensure good look of the player.
Ensure there is enough space around the player for proper cooling. The space at each side should be not
less than 10 cm.
Ensure the RC has batteries installed.
Connect the player to your TV and to other A/V equipment in an appropriate way. Use HDMI connection
to get the best possible quality of video and audio. Make sure to switch off the player and all relevant A/V
equipment before connecting them. Ensure your TV and other A/V equipment are configured to use proper
inputs.
Switch on the player. The player will perform its initial loading procedure, which may take up to about 1
minute. During the loading procedure, "DUNE" logo is shown on the TV.
If you do not see "DUNE" logo on the TV when you switch on the player, it may mean some problem with
the connection between the player and the TV or that a wrong video input is chosen in the TV or A/V
receiver/switch. In such a case, recheck the cables and the settings of the TV or A/V receiver/switch, or
try to use different cables or a different way of connecting the player to the TV.
If you see "DUNE" logo on the TV when you switch on the player, but then the picture disappears and
no other picture appears during at least 10 seconds, it may mean that a wrong video output mode is
configured in the player. In such a case, press the "MODE" RC button, and then press one of the RC
buttons "1", "2", "3", "4" or "5" to switch to a different video output mode (see "Quick Setting of Video
Output Mode").
Finally, you should see the main screen of the player menu. The main screen shows items allowing to
use different player functions and access all storage devices and network drives connected to the player.
Adjust the player settings as needed using "SETUP" item on the main screen of the player menu (or by
pressing the "SETUP" RC button). In particular, you may want to adjust video settings, audio settings, and
network settings.
To choose the language of the player menu, use “Setup / General / Interface language” setting.
Use the RC buttons "LEFT", "RIGHT", "UP", "DOWN", "ENTER", "RETURN" to navigate through the
player menu. Use the "MENU" RC button to show the list of available commands. Use the ''POP UP
MENU'' RC button to show the information about the selected item.
Quick Setting of Video Output Mode
The “MODE” RC button allows quick setting of video output mode without entering the player setup menu.
This way of video output con guration may be required if you see no picture on the screen after connect-
ing your player to a TV.
Press the “MODE” RC button and then one of the RC buttons “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, or “5” to switch to one
of the following video output modes respectively:
1. Composite/Component, PAL
2. Composite/Component, NTSC
3. HDMI, 480i, 60 Hz
4. HDMI, 720p, 60 Hz
5. HDMI, 1080i, 60 Hz
After you see a picture on the TV, press the “ENTER” RC button, and then go to the player setup menu to
perform a more precise con guration of the video output mode if needed.
NOTE: The procedure of quick setting of video output mode can not be used during playback. To ensure this
procedure can be used, switch the player off, then switch the player on, and the wait about 1 minute to ensure
the player loading is nished.

Connecting USB Drives
To connect a USB drive, ensure you are on the main screen of the player menu and connect the USB drive
to an USB port of the player. The player will recognize the USB drive, and will show an item corresponding
to the USB drive on the main screen.
When connecting a USB drive requiring signi cant power (such as USB HDD), use an external power
supply for the USB drive. Power provided by the USB ports of the player may not be enough for correct
functioning of the USB drive.
Do not disconnect or switch off the USB drive when some write operation is in progress.
Using SD Memory Cards
To insert an SD memory card, ensure you are on the main screen of the player menu and insert the
memory card into the SD card slot of the player. The player will recognize the memory card, and will show
an item corresponding to the memory card on the main screen. Some SD memory cards may not be
recognized by the player or may work incorrectly; in such a case, use other models of SD memory cards.
Do not eject the SD memory card when some write operation is in progress.
Connecting eSATA Drives
To connect an eSATA drive, switch off both the player and the eSATA drive, connect the eSATA drive to the
eSATA port of the player (and connect the eSATA drive to its power supply), switch on the eSATA drive,
and, as the last step, switch on the player. The player will recognize the eSATA drive, and will show an item
corresponding to the eSATA drive on the main screen of the player menu.
Switch off and disconnect the eSATA drive only after switching off the player.
Using USB Slave Function
To connect the player with an installed internal HDD via USB slave, switch off the player, connect the
USB slave port of the player to the USB host port of the PC, and then switch on the player. The PC will
recognize a new USB device. After nishing working with the player in the PC, ensure the USB device is
correctly stopped in the PC («Safely remove hardware» or a similar function), switch off the player, and
then disconnect the USB slave port of the player from the USB host port of the PC.
Accessing Network Drives
To connect a network drive using SMB or NFS protocol, ensure you are on the main screen of the player menu,
press the "MENU" RC button, and choose "Create Network Folder", then ll the parameters of the network drive
as needed. The player will show an item corresponding to the con gured network drive on the main screen.
To browse the list of network resources accessible via SMB or UPnP protocols, use "Network Browser"
item on the main screen of the player menu. NOTE: If some network resources are not shown by the
player, you may need to wait some minutes and then retry (or press the "MENU" RC button and choose
"Refresh" command).
Formatting HDD
To format a HDD attached to the player, select the drive item on the main screen of the player menu, press
the "INFO" RC button and choose "Format Disk" (to format the entire disk) or "Format Partition" (or to for-
mat an already existing disk partition only). The player will format the disk using "EXT2" lesystem. NOTE:
To use disks formatted by the player on a Windows PC, you may need to install additional software on the
PC, such as "EXT2FSD" (http://www.ext2fsd.com/).

Dune HD Smart D1 Quick Start Guide
Switching the Player On and Off
To switch on the player, ensure the power switch on the rear panel is in “on” state, and press the “POWER”
RC button or the “on/off” button on the front panel.
To put the player into the standby mode, press the “POWER” RC button or the “on/off” button on the front
panel. To exit the standby mode, press any of these buttons again.
Depending on the player settings (see the player setup menu), the “hardware standby” or “software stand-
by” mode may be used. In the “hardware standby” mode, almost complete power-off takes place and
the player consumes almost no power. In the “software standby” mode, the player produces no signal
on the video output, but is still functioning. For example, if you have some storage devices connected to
the player, you may still access them from network (“NAS” function of the player). Exiting the “software
standby” mode takes just a few seconds. When the player is in the “software standby” mode, it still con-
sumes signi cant power. It is not recommended to keep the player in the “software standby” mode for a
while if you do not need it.
To switch off the player completely, toggle the power switch on the rear panel. Do not do it if some drive is
connected to the player and some write operation is in progress.
NOTE: After switching off the player or putting the player into the “hardware standby” mode, it is recom-
mended to wait about 1 minute before switching it on again.
NAS (Network Attached Storage)
You can access storage devices connected to the player from the local network using FTP and SMB pro-
tocols. On a Windows PC, just type "ftp://ip_address" or "\\ip_address" in the Windows explorer, where
"ip_address" is the IP address of the player.
WiFi
You can use a USB WiFi adapter to connect the player to the local network via WiFi.
Please see here for the information on supported USB WiFi adapters:
http://dune-hd.com/support/hw_compat/
Internal 3.5" SATA HDD
A possibility to install the internal 3.5” SATA HDD may depend on your reseller. Please contact your local
reseller for more information.
Limitations
Compatibility of the player with a particular hardware (A/V equipment, network equipment, disk drives, etc)
may depend on various factors (particular hardware model, speci cs of hardware installation and usage,
con guration of the player and the hardware, etc). If the player does not correctly work with a particular
hardware, try to adjust the con guration of the player or hardware, try to use the hardware in a different
way, or try to use some other hardware.
Compatibility of the player with a particular media content ( les, discs, etc) may depend on various factors
(speci cs of media content encoding, speci cs of the con guration of the player, etc). If the player does not
play correctly a particular media content, try to adjust the con guration of the player, or try to use media
content encoded in a different way.

Updating Your Player and Getting More Information
Please check here for updated versions of player rmware (which may improve player functioning and
extend player possibilities):

(Note: You can also connect the player to Internet and use the online rmware upgrade function, see
Setup / Misc / Firmware Upgrade.)

Modular System of Player Configuration
Dune HD Smart players allow to create custom con gurations based on the primary (head) unit like
Dune HD Smart B1/H1/D1 and several optional extension modules of choice, which can be combined
to form an integrated player.
The Dune HD Smart player itself is a head unit which can be extended at user’s desire with extension
modules, such as the following:
Dune HD Smart HE (adds the option for easy installation of SATA 3.5” HDD with hot swap feature).
Dune HD Smart ME (adds the option for installing different additional modules).
Dune HD Smart BE (adds the option for Blu-ray/DVD/CD playback) (including commercial Blu-ray/
DVD discs).
Extension modules can work exclusively with the head unit (Dune HD Smart player) and use a com-
mon control system, implemented via the head unit. The number of connected modules may vary in
a wide range: the user can compile his/her own Dune HD Smart system of e.g. two, three and even
six components.
In order to group SMART devices by 2 or 3 horizontally, special mounts can be used. For example,
a group of 3 modules, including the head unit, combined this way, will comprise a new player of a
standard size like the model Dune HD Max.
Besides, grouping the required number of modules allows to supersede the functionality of Dune HD
Max, providing more exibility at the same time. In particular, the modular approach provides the pos-
sibility to group modules in any order at any time depending on user’s demands, as well as replacing
(upgrading) particular modules instead of replacing the entire set of equipment.
